This book illuminates the central role played by international
nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) in the emergence and
development of a comprehensive world polity. The contributors argue
that the enormous proliferation of INGOs since 1875--including
international environmental organizations, human rights groups,
bodies formed to regulate technical standards, and economic
development organizations, among others--both reflects and
contributes to the spread of global institutions and cultural
principles based on models of rationality, individualism, progress,
and universalism. The contributors contrast this world-polity
perspective to other approaches to understanding globalization,
including realist and neo-realist analyses in the field of
international relations, and world-system theory and interstate
competition theory in sociology.
